Chapter 163: Warm Stay

The moment the door of the right prime minister's mansion opened, Li An saw two familiar faces, the smiling Li Linfu was what he expected, and next to Li Linfu, there was actually a man with a scarred face, and this man was not a bystander, it was Li Tan, the eldest son of the Tang Emperor. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

How could Li Tan be in Li Linfu's house, and besides, he greeted himself with Li Linfu, what is this for, even if he has made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty for a while, he doesn't need to let such a heavyweight right minister and King Qing greet him personally! It's also too frustrating.

"The lowly Li An visited the right minister, and King Qing is also there."

Li An respectfully saluted Li Linfu and Li Tan.

Li Linfu's attitude was even more kind, and he looked at Li An with a smile on his face: "General Li, please come inside, Benxiang just talked about General Li with King Qing, and General Li is here, haha!" ”

Li Anyu smiled and said: "The right minister is warmly invited, how dare you not come, but I didn't expect that King Qing is also in the house, but I haven't seen King Qing for a long time." ”

Li Tan also grinned and exchanged pleasantries with Li An.

After the three of them walked into the main hall, the guests and hosts sat down, Li Linfu sat on the honored seat, Li Tan and Li An sat at the bottom, and Li Linfu was only a few steps away.

After greeting for a while, Li An asked Li Linfu why he invited him to come, and Li Linfu didn't say anything important, just asked about some inconsequential trivial things, which was completely idle chat.

This situation made Li An quite puzzled, Li Linfu specially invited himself, was it just to chat with him? Moreover, he also took King Qing to chat together, he was sick and confused, or did he have ulterior motives.

Li An wanted to get up and say goodbye, but Li Linfu's topics were one after another, and they were extremely enthusiastic, so that Li An couldn't open his mouth to say goodbye.

Of course, it was not only Li An who was puzzled, Qingwang Li Tan also frowned from time to time, and he couldn't understand what Li Linfu was doing when he invited Li An to come, and he also let himself accompany him.

Of course, Li Linfu is the minister of power, even if he has a fever, he will never do anything foolish, he has his sinister intentions in doing so, but Li An and Li Tan can't figure it out for a while.

After two hours of talking about it for two hours, just when Li An felt that he could finally get up and say goodbye, Li Linfu was extremely enthusiastic about keeping Li An, and ordered a big banquet for Li An and Li Tan to accompany him to a delicious meal.

Li Linfu is enthusiastic and sincere to retain, Li An really can't find a reason to say goodbye, at this time, if he refuses, he will slap Li Linfu in the face, which will make Li Linfu feel like a hot face and a cold ass, and Li An really doesn't want to offend Li Linfu so decisively, after all, Li Linfu is still deeply appreciated by Li Longji, and controls most of the government, and Li An's own foundation is still very shallow, and it will be useless for Li An to tear his face.

Of course, there is another reason, that is, King Qing's Li Tan is also here, if he insists on leaving, King Qing's face will not be able to hang, so, eat less of this meal, offend two people, and are two people with relatively high status and status, and stay, it seems that there is no loss, and you can also have a full meal, why not?

In Li Linfu's gracious stay, Li An stayed in the right prime minister's mansion and accompanied Li Linfu and Li Tan to dinner.

Of course, Ang Lee's stomach was already full, but new dishes were constantly being handed over, and the banquet was not over yet, so Ang Lee naturally didn't want to say goodbye.

Seeing that a lot of delicious dishes that had not yet been moved were directly removed, Li An lamented Li Linfu's waste, but he couldn't say anything, so he had to watch.

When the banquet finally ended, it was already completely dark, but Li Linfu still did not plan to let Li An leave, let his subordinates serve tea, and continued to chat with Li An.

Li An really couldn't help it, got up and said: "The right minister is hospitable, and the humble position is remembered in my heart, but it is too late, and it seems that it is time to say goodbye." ”

Li Linfu smiled all over his face, and continued to stay: "General Li, it's already forbidden outside, it's better to stay in the house for the night, and leave early tomorrow morning!" By the way, there is also King Qing, who also stayed together, although the Prime Minister's Mansion is not big, but it can still live in two. ”

Li An really didn't expect that Li Linfu had delayed for so much, but it was actually to let himself live in the Prime Minister's Mansion, what the hell did he want to do, this enthusiasm was too much! Or is there another purpose?

Although no one really dared to arrest Li An who violated the night ban, in front of the right minister and King Qing, Li An really didn't really want to violate the night ban.

"Yes! General Li, it's already closed outside, since the right minister is so hospitable, let's stay overnight! ”

Qing King Li Tan doesn't care, there will be no loss if he stays in the Prime Minister's Mansion for one night, besides, if he wants to defeat the crown prince Li Heng, he must rely on Li Linfu's help, how dare he offend Li Linfu and insist on leaving? Moreover, he also had to follow Li Linfu's wishes and help Li Linfu try his best to keep Li An.

Li An was helpless, so he had to pat his head and said: "What the right minister said is that looking at the memory of the humble position, it is already forbidden at night outside, even if the humble position wants to leave, he can't go back, and it seems that he can only bother the right minister's mansion for a night." ”

"Hahaha! General Li was able to stay in the Prime Minister's mansion because he could afford to see the Prime Minister, and the Prime Minister was really happy in his heart, so he came and sent Captain Li to the guest room to rest. ”

Li Linfu smiled all over his face, as if he had achieved some kind of purpose.

"The right minister also rested earlier, King Qing."

Li An responded to Li Linfu, and slightly saluted Li Tan, the king of Qing, and then followed a subordinate of the prime minister's mansion and walked in the direction of the guest room.

The scale of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion is still very considerable, and the decoration is relatively gorgeous, and if you can live here, you can be regarded as not wronged Li An, but Li An doesn't like it here, because he understands that Li Linfu is a traitor with a honey-bellied sword, and he is so enthusiastic about keeping himself, I am afraid that he has ulterior motives, and he must be cautious, even if he sleeps, he must keep one eye open.

"Is the right prime minister's desire to retain General Li so enthusiastically is to win over General Li?"

Li Tan is not afraid of Li Linfu, and speaks more directly.

Li Linfu smiled all over his face and looked at Li Tan: "The original appearance is intended to win over Captain Li, but Captain Li is not optimistic about the appearance!" ”

Li Tan was slightly surprised: "In that case, why does the right minister still treat him like this?" Could it be that the right minister feels that his persistence can be exchanged for General Li's change of heart? ”

Li Linfu smiled lightly: "It doesn't matter if General Li can change his mind, the important thing is that he has been in the Prime Minister's mansion for so long, if it spreads, what will others think?" ”

When Li Tan heard this, he suddenly laughed with realization: "It's still thoughtful and thoughtful, so, in the eyes of outsiders, the relationship between General Li and the right minister is extraordinary, especially the person in the palace, he will think so." ”

"King Qing knows my heart very well, haha!"

###

Li An was kept in the mansion by Li Linfu, which made Kunxiong, Feiyu and others anxious, they didn't know what was going on, but they could only wait helplessly.

More anxious than them is Yan Zhenqing, in the afternoon, he was instructed by the prince to let Li An enter the palace to see, the prince's purpose is naturally to encourage Li An to calm down, but unexpectedly, Li An was invited away by Li Linfu.

In desperation, Yan Zhenqing had no choice but to wait, and asked Kunxiong and Feiyu to take turns to go outside the Right Prime Minister's mansion, as long as Li An came out, he would immediately let him go to the palace.

But what Yan Zhenqing didn't expect was that Li An hadn't come out since he entered Li Linfu's mansion, and he didn't come back until it was dark and nightproof, which made him quite anxious and confused.

What happened to Ang Lee, why did he not come out of Li Linfu's mansion, did something really happen between them, and would Ang Lee be in the same league with Li Linfu?

All these doubts made Yan Zhenqing fidget, he preferred to believe in Ang Lee, but the world is impermanent, everything is possible, and he has to have all kinds of doubts.

"What, I'm safe and haven't come back yet?"

Seeing Kunxiong and Feiyu walking into the house in disappointment, Yan Zhenqing asked.

"Uncle, we took turns to stare at the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, and the eldest brother really didn't come out."

Li Kunxiong felt very helpless, and of course, even more confused.

Yan Zhenqing sighed: "It's been a night ban for so long, it is estimated that I have stayed in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, it seems that I can only wait for tomorrow morning." ”

"The eldest brother obviously said that he would come back soon, why did he stay in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion for so long and stay overnight? What can the eldest brother and the right minister talk about? ”

Li Feiyu was also very surprised.

"Since it's already like this, I have to talk about it tomorrow, it's getting late, and my uncle can't go back, so he lives here with you, I said you, why buy a house and buy such a far place, it's too inconvenient."

Yan Zhenqing shook her head and went straight to rest.

Kunxiong and Feiyu had no choice but to rest first, wait for the next morning, and then go to Li An.

###

In the hall of Daming Palace, Li Heng, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, was reading the Han book, it was already late at night, but he was still not sleepy, in the afternoon, he asked Yan Zhenqing to summon Li An, but Li An was invited away by Li Linfu, and he did not leave for several hours, which made him feel quite angry.

Li Heng doesn't know Li An very well, so naturally he can't trust him, he just thinks that Li An is Li Wu's son, and he has a good relationship with Yan Zhenqing and Wang Zhonghei, so he should be loyal to himself, no matter what, he shouldn't have anything to do with Li Linfu, a traitor, but the fact is that Li An has been invited into the mansion by Li Linfu many times, and Li Linfu's standard for receiving Li An is the highest, and he opened the door to greet him in person both times.

It's hard for him to believe that Li An and Li Linfu don't have a more special relationship, of course, Li Linfu is known for his cunning, and this may also be Li Linfu's conspiracy, but no matter what, Li Heng's trust in Li An has indeed decreased a lot, at least he won't regard him as a confidant.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, it's not early, it's time to rest."

Li Jingzhong, who had an ugly face, stepped forward lightly and reminded in a low voice.

"This palace is not tired, if you are tired, just rest first!"

Li Heng said coldly.

Li Jingzhong squeezed out a smile at the corner of his mouth, looking even uglier than when he didn't smile, and opened his mouth and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince refuses to rest, how dare the old slave rest, but the old slave thinks that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should put his body first and stay up all night to hurt himself!" ”

"Staying up all night hurts? How can this palace not know, but this palace just can't sleep! ”

Li Heng sighed slightly, he knew that Li Jingzhong really cared about him, so he was not angry.

Li Jingzhong grinned ugly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is worried about General Li's affairs!" The old slave is willing to share the worries of His Highness. ”

Li Heng squinted his eyes slightly, looked at Li Jingzhong, who had been serving him for several years, and squeezed out a smile at the corner of his mouth: "Li Jingzhong, this palace can't figure out what kind of person you are until now, how dare you share your worries for me?" ”

"It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still suspicious of the old slave, but the old slave's sincerity towards His Royal Highness is real, can't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really feel it?"

Li Jingzhong expressed sincerity with a face.

Li Heng pondered for a moment and said softly: "Li Jingzhong, this palace is just a down-and-out prince, what will be the outcome in the future, it is really difficult to predict, what reason do you have for being sincere to this palace?" What are you drawing? ”

Li Jingzhong was silent for a moment, and then said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is inevitably too pessimistic, the Tang Dynasty has been going on for thousands of generations, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the prince of the country, and there is only one future, that is, to succeed to the throne, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must have confidence in himself, and the old slave will also help His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Li Heng's eyes were a little suspicious: "Li Jingzhong, you were sent by your father to serve this palace, why do you want to say this to this palace, you are not afraid that your father will know about your crime." ”

Li Jingzhong's expression was blank, and he said with a straight face: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the old slave is just an old and ugly eunuch, without a home, without a room, without care, what about the capital crime?" And His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the prince of the country, if he can help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to become a great treasure, the long history will not forget the old slave, and His Royal Highness will not forget the old slave. ”

When Li Heng heard this, he couldn't help but feel justified, in Li Longji's eyes, Li Jingzhong was just a chess piece responsible for monitoring himself, for so many years, he has been a tepid little person, and his status is relatively not high, compared with Gao Lishi and others, it is a world of difference.

And if he can help him ascend the throne, after he becomes the emperor, he will definitely not treat him badly, and when the time comes, he will be the next 'Gaolishi'

Eunuchs have no 'power' and can't enjoy the warmth of women, and they can't enjoy the joy of humanity, so they can only rely on constantly acquiring money, power and status to fill their lost 'power' and gain great satisfaction.

Li Jingzhong's low status made him unable to find satisfaction, and the only one who could finally change his fate was the crown prince Li Heng, and only by supporting the crown prince Li Heng to ascend the throne as the emperor could he gain the status of Gao Lishi, so as to crush all the people who once despised him from the status and get everything he wanted.

"If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still doesn't believe in the old slave, the old slave is willing to write a blood letter to show his heart."

Li Jingzhong said, put his finger in his mouth, and bit down hard. (To be continued.) )
